I see you had a flurry of posts yesterday and wondered if mine got lost as you were so busy support.proboards.com/post/5497646/thread

If you have time to advise I'd be very grateful as it's nice to have the welcome, thank you.

Hi, recopy the code support.proboards.com/post/5414034
Could not see what your error was without the link to your forum
But a recopy of the code should fix it!

I didn't have an error at all, for me this works exactly as you say it should, I just wondered whether it was possible to use 'display name' instead of 'user name'?

Thanks.

Please ignore my nonsense above! The last person to join our forum hadn't changed his display name as he should have, so it was displaying the default which was the same as his username.  So I thought the app was using the username.  Duh!

Apologies and thanks for the neat plugin!

How do I achieve this on a custom page? Or does this work for custom pages?

As far as I'm aware It will only work on the main home template page of the forum as it collects the info from the info centre

I was asked if it was possible to add/show the new members avatar

Screenshot
The newest username shows above the users avatar
It was the only way I could get the username and avatar to fit neatly on all browsers
Showing the new member name above the avatar

Tested
IE 11 - Chrome - Firefox


You can preview it here on my test forum

Go - admin - Themes - Layout Templates - Home

Add the code below above or below $[news]

<center><div class="container">
<div class="title-bar"><center><h2>Welcome To The Forum</h2></center></div>
<div class="content">
<br> <font color="#000000"> <b>Please Welcome Our Newest Member To The Forum</b><br>
$[newest_user]<br>$[newest_user.avatar_quote]</font><br />
</div>
</div></center>


If want to try the larger avatar

<center><div class="container">
<div class="title-bar"><center><h2>Welcome To The Forum</h2></center></div>
<div class="content">
<br> <font color="#000000"> <b>Please Welcome Our Newest Member To The Forum</b><br>
$[newest_user]<br>$[newest_user.avatar_small]</font><br />
</div>
</div></center>


Reminder you can always preview it
Before saving any changes to your template

~*~   @xsteveuk, I like this but am wondering does the message stay there always? Or is there a way to make it disappear after an allotted time frame? Or disappear after the member reaches a certain amount of posts?

Thanks,

FS

Hi,

It will show until a new member registers it works the same way as showing the latest user to register
Only difference is this shows the new users avatar also

~*~   OK! Thanks @xsteveuk! I'd rather it disappear after time but thanks for letting me know!

Hi, 
Sorry for the delay in answering you been away on holiday..
I just checked on my test forum tcptestingboard.boards.net  and it seems to be working OK 
showing the new user and small avatar - Have you copied the code and put it on the HOME TEMPLATE
